<span>The question is asking which type of art was considered “women’s work” rather than a craft until recent history?. The answer is that it was
c. embroidery. Women, mostly those of higher social standing, were spending a lot of time with other women doing embroidery, and this even applied to some queens, for example Maria Theresia of Austria, although the empress also participated in embroidery (she did a bit and the rest was filled in by her servants)</span>
Answer: A. She made great efforts to look presentable in high society.
The Prioress is one of the main characters of The Canterbury Tales, named Madame Eglantine.
The prioress in this story is a picture of contradictions. A prioress is supposed to be pious and humble, but in the story, Madame Eglantine shows otherwise. She is unique having a large forehead and a small mouth. She wears expensive clothes and she carries a bright coral beaded rosary instead of a plain black one.
Her behavior is confusing, too.
So what is implied about the prioress in Chaucer's prologue is that she made great efforts to look presentable in high society.
